@tonymasiello I would have loved to see that.

@Neddyo Cool! I think @Mdphunk solved it. The bid was $9.5m but after taxes and auction fees it was $11.5m. That makes more sense to me because I'm seeing that "almost $12m" number in a lot of the articles I just searched.

@Mdphunk @Neddyo Ah, thank you. That's probably what got it up to $11.5m

@Neddyo I pulled from this article which said $11.5m: https://americansongwriter.com/jerry-garcias-tiger-guitar-sells-for-millions-as-david-gilmours-black-strat-remains-the-most-expensive-ever/

Close up of Jerry’s famous “Tiger” guitar which has a beautiful tiger inlay below the fretboards. The guitar is a very dark wood with tips that look like horns.

At the same auction, Jerry Garcia's ‘Tiger' guitar sold for $11.5 million.

Sarah Jarosz is a fantastic artist. I love her songwriting. This is her covering James McMurtry, but I keep coming back to it because it's so great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6AkxNAvUAE

A list of people involved with the creation of a music video.

This is what I like to see on a band's Instagram.

David Gilmore’s black Fender Stratocaster is hanging on a plain white wall from a hook. The guitar has the classic Strat body and is jet back. “The Black Strat” is written on the wall above the guitar. Some old white dude is looking at it awkwardly. Would have been a better photo without the guy in it.

David Gilmore’s black Stratocaster used to record ‘Dark Side of the Moon,’ ‘Wish You Were Here,’ ‘Animals,’ and ‘The Wall’ sells for a record $14.5 million dollars.

The previous record for a guitar at auction was $6 million for Kurt Cobain's acoustic guitar […]

This bird goes HARD. He obviously listens to death metal and pounds PBRs like water.

I’m working off memory here, but I thought the "Woo”ing started in 3.0 with the Tahoe Tweezer where Trey was encouraging it.

However, I'm listening to the 11/16/94 Stash right now and there are very prominent audience Woos right at the top of the song […]

@BEK97 Good question. I don't know. I think the drummer who got fired was Allen Aucoin.

I haven't been yet, but I've heard this venue in #Raleigh is amazing. On the Neuse River, close to downtown, camping and killer festivals. Hoping to go this year.

This is what @pluralistic calls “too big to care” and how it looks in real life.

More politicians should use this framing.

@floralia It’s early, so just tea. 😉

Baseball post about the Israeli baseball team getting eliminated from the World Baseball classic. However, there’s a HUGE graphic that just reads “ISRAEL ELIMINATED” with the flag, so I instantly thought it was about something else entirely as all the baseball logos on the post are really small.

Did not think MLB on FOX quite intended this effect when they posted about the Israeli team getting knocked out of the World Baseball Classic. I did a spit-take when I saw this.

@paninid @angiebaby No lies detected on that Iran tweet.

The show at the Nippon Budokan Hall Tokyo on March 11 was being filmed for a documentary and recorded for a live album, and-without telling their bandmates-Billy and Poncho dropped acid before going on. "We did 'Cowgirl in the Sand' and Billy and Ralph went up to sing the backgrounds," Poncho continues. "I opened my eyes and saw big manda- las comin' out of the back of both their heads, all these colors 'n shit. I couldn't even look up, I was so high. I'd hit the strings of my guitar-they were like eighty different colors and they bounced off the floors and hit the ceiling. At the end of the second song Neil came runnin' over, stuck his head between me and Billy and goes, 'Man, we're psychedelic tonight!' ] just looked at Billy, thinkin', 'He told him, he told him.' The whole rest of the night I don't even think we made a mistake. It was unbelievable."

50 years ago tonight, crazy horse trippin' at the budokan. https://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/185911293867/neil-young-crazy-horse-budokan-hall-tokyo

The most infuriating thing about the #Trump era is the ability for politicians to knowingly lie and there are zero consequences for it and everyone just shrugs and moves on.

There is literally more evidence that Trump raped children, than […]
